The implementation background of the Reasons for changes, decision-making Qingdao R&D center project also changed significantly in the following aspects: procedures, and information disclosure (by ① Significant changes in macro economy and consumer electronics industry project) Since the second half of 2022, the consumer electronics industry has been affected by multiple negative factors, including the global economic slowdown, high inflation in major European and American 32 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 countries, and continuous interest rate hikes by central banks such as the Federal Reserve. As a result, the market demand for consumer electronics has declined. Global shipments of VR/AR products declined significantly in 2023, according to data from IDC, Canalys, and Counterpoint. Shipments of smart wearables (smart watches and smart bands) and TWS smart earphones in the same period also fell below expectations to varying degrees. The development of major smart hardware products in the consumer electronics industry had undergone significantly changes since the initial implementation of the Qingdao R&D center project. It's necessary for the Company to prudently evaluate and adjust the scale and pace of the Company's resource investment according to the changes in the external environment, and make corresponding adjustments to the Company's related fundraising projects. ② Changes in the Company's business operations Since the second half of 2022, the Company's operating performance has fluctuated. This is due to the overall insufficient market demand for traditional and emerging smart hardware products, the lower- than-expected terminal sales of the Company's clients, and the fluctuations in the specific product project. The Company's business operations and revenue growth have changed significantly since the Qingdao R&D center project was first implemented. This requires the Company to adjust the scale and pace of its overall resource investment, including the fundraising projects, to ensure that its resource investment is in line with its business development. In addition, the Company has invested in the design, research and development, and experimental capabilities of precision optical components required for VR/AR products, as well as advanced process technology capabilities such as nano-imprinting in Weifang, Shanghai, and other places in recent years. This investment can, to some extent, fulfill some of the functions originally planned for the Qingdao R&D center project. The Company is also working closely with the National Virtual Reality Innovation Center (Qingdao) to make better use of the existing resources of the Qingdao R&D center project. Decision-making procedures and information disclosure: On December 5, 2023, the Company conducted the 11th meeting of the 6th Board of Directors and the 10th meeting of the 6th Supervisory Board. Additionally, on December 21, 2023, the Company held its 2nd extraordinary 'general meeting of the year. These meetings reviewed and approved the Proposal on Changing the Use of Part of the Raised Funds to Permanently Replenish Working Capital.

Industry trend and competition The global technology and consumer electronics industry is continuing to shift from the mobile Internet era to the post-mobile era. The rapid development of AI technology in recent years has brought new influences and opportunities to the development process of this industry. In the era of mobile Internet, smartphones and their peripheral products are the main drivers of development in the technology and consumer electronics industries. However, in recent years, the innovation speed of software and hardware of smartphone products has slowed down, and the growth of market scale has stagnated. IDC predicts that global smartphone shipments will reach 1.2 billion units in 2024, with an approximate 2.8% YoY increase. With the slow growth of the smartphone market, the industry generally expects emerging smart hardware products, such as VR, MR, and AR devices, to become the main driving force for the development of the industry in the post-mobile era. 34 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 In 2023, the development speed and market size growth of some emerging smart hardware products were slower than expected. This was due to both external objective factors, such as the weak global economic recovery, interest rate hikes in major European and American countries, and insufficient market demand, and internal industry factors, such as the need for further breakthroughs in key technologies for some products, the need for further development of product application scenarios, and the need for further enrichment of software applications and content. The development of emerging smart hardware products is still being actively promoted. Well- known technology and consumer electronics manufacturers continue to invest heavily in this field and continue to launch new representative products. Driven by the industry as a whole, and with the recovery of the macro economy and the consumer electronics industry, emerging smart hardware products are expected to continue to develop healthily in the next few years. IDC predicts global shipments of VR and MR devices to reach 24.7 million units by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of about 29.2% from 2023 to 2028. With the development of software and hardware technologies such as image sensing and spatial computing, the boundaries between VR and MR are further blurred, and MR products have gradually become the mainstream of the market. In the next few years, more well-known manufacturers in the industry are expected to follow this product technology trend. The exploration of application scenarios and software content for MR products is expected to accelerate and usher in explosive growth. IDC predicts global AR device shipments to reach 10.9 million units by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of about 87.1% from 2024 to 2028. AR products have the product characteristics of "blending the virtual and real worlds", the ability to seamlessly link with the mobile Internet content ecosystem, and the potential for integration with AI technology, showing huge future application potential and market potential. Well-known manufacturers in the industry continue to promote the development of related new technologies such as semiconductor chips, microdisplays, and optical waveguides. As the relevant technical bottlenecks are overcome, mature AR products are expected to be gradually introduced to the market in the next few years and usher in rapid development. Canalys predicts global smart wearable shipments to reach 204 million units in 2024, with an approximate 10% YoY increase. As consumers pay more attention to exercise and health in the post-mobile era, high-precision and high-reliability vital signs monitoring technology, especially ECG, blood pressure monitoring, and non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology, is currently the focus of innovation for hundreds of millions of patients with hypertension, diabetes, and subhealthy individuals around the world. Relevant technological breakthroughs in the above fields are expected to bring new explosive growth to smart wearable products. In recent years, the development of AI technology, represented by large language models, has been remarkable. It is also expected to bring new development opportunities for the consumer electronics industry and emerging smart hardware products.

However, there are new business opportunities in the global technology and consumer electronics industry. The application areas of emerging smart hardware products are constantly expanding, the software and hardware ecosystem is continuously being improved, and the integrated development of emerging smart hardware and AI technologies bring new opportunities to the industry. The management and the staff of the Company will continue to implement our strategy and to achieve business objectives, so as to return the shareholders with good business performance and continuous growth of the value of the Company.

The Company will carefully evaluate various financing tools to optimize the asset-liability ratio and debt structure and carefully manage financial derivatives trading activities with strict standards, to actively avoid liquidity risks and foreign exchange risks. And with all the measures above, to thus provide stable and sufficient financial support to the development of the Company. 5. Future risks (1) Macroeconomic risks Global economy has yet to recover. Inflation remains high in major European and American countries. Unfavorable factors that affecting investment and consumption still exist, which may hinder the development of the global technology and consumer electronics industry in the short term. The world political and economic situation remains complex. Trade disputes between major countries and geopolitical events have brought uncertainties to the global economy, which may adversely affect the business of the Company. Some intelligent hardware products, such as smartphones, have slowed down or stagnated in growth rate, and some next-generation smart hardware products may develop slower than expected. This may impact the global market demand as well as the Company's business performance. (2) Operational risks ① Risks of relatively concentrated clients 37 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 The competitive pattern of global technology and consumer electronics industry, along with the Company's business model and key account strategy, determined a relatively concentrated client structure. As a result, the business income from a few core clients accounts for a large proportion of the Company's overall income. Although the above clients are global industry leaders who have significant competitive advantages and market position, and have maintained long-term and stable cooperative relations with the Company, under some special circumstances, they may bring fluctuations and risks to the Company's business if their business activities fluctuate, or their relationship with the Company changes. ② Risks of exchange rate fluctuation Exports constitute a significant portion of the Company's total income. At the same time, the Company also imports a considerable number of raw materials, equipment and other products from overseas. These import and export businesses are primarily settled in US dollars. Although the Company has adopted appropriate risk hedging tools, the significant fluctuation of foreign exchange rates may still bring certain exchange rate risks to the Company. ③ Risks of loss of core technical talents The technology and consumer electronics industry is a talent intensive industry. Therefore, the demand for core technical talents is strong, and the competition for talents is very fierce. Core technical talents are the key resources for the Company to continuously improve its core competitiveness and realize long-term development. For this reason, the Company will continue to improve various incentive and restraint mechanisms in order to retain core technical talents. Under fierce competition, there may still be the loss of core technical talents, which may put the Company at a disadvantage in the competition and affect the business development. (3) Risks of management In recent years, the Company's various product lines have expanded rapidly, leading to a larger business scale and a wider range of products. This has placed higher demands on the Company's overall operational and management capabilities. The Company implements the strategic plan of developing core client business and exploring new opportunities, which requires the Company's management to maintain excellent abilities of judgment, execution and management. If the Company's management fails to match the business growth, or fails to be improved to meet the needs of the Company's development, it may affect the execution of strategic planning and the delivery of business objectives, thus bringing management risks to the Company.

Annual Report 2023 (3) Identified the risk in the commodity ownership and the contractual terms related to remuneration transfer, evaluated whether the accounting policies for revenue recognition in different modes were appropriate, and evaluated whether the time point for revenue recognition of the Company was consistent with the requirements in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises by checking the major sales contracts or orders, understanding the policies for receipt and return of goods, communicating with the management and other procedures; (4) Selected samples to check the sales contracts or orders, sales invoices, shipping orders, declarations for exportation, waybills (receipt forms), bank slips and other supporting documents related to revenue recognition, and executed external confirmation procedures on a sampling basis; (5) Selected samples to reconcile the shipping orders, declarations for exportation, waybills (receipt forms) and other supporting documents against the product sales revenue recognized before and after the balance sheet date to evaluate whether the revenue was recognized in the appropriate accounting period. (II) Goodwill impairment 1. Description of the matters For the provision for impairment of goodwill, please refer to the accounting policy of "26. Impairment of Long-term Assets" in "(V) Important accounting policies and accounting estimates" of notes to the financial statements for details. As of December 31, 2023, the book value of goodwill was RMB 605.03 million, which mainly resulted from the goodwill generated from the acquisition of the subsidiary Uphoton Technology (Shaoxing) Co., Ltd. in the current year, which amounted to RMB 588.17 million. In accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, the Company's management performs an impairment test on goodwill at the end of each year and adjusts the book value of goodwill based on the results of the impairment test. The process of assessing goodwill impairment is complex. Predicting the recoverable amount involves estimating the present value of future cash flows for the asset group. The management needs to make significant judgments and assumptions in its forecasts. The use of different assumptions can have a significant impact on the assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill, as they are affected by management's judgment of the future market and economic environment. Since the book value of goodwill has a significant impact on financial statements and the provision for impairment of goodwill requires the management to make significant accounting judgments and estimates, we identified the impairment of goodwill as a key audit matter. 2. Audit measures We mainly implemented the following audit procedures for the impairment of goodwill: (1) Understood, evaluated, and tested the design and operation effectiveness of internal control related to the impairment of goodwill; (2) Review whether the management's determination of the asset group and allocation method for goodwill comply with the provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises; (3) Assess the competency, professionalism, and objectivity of the external evaluation organization hired by the management; (4) Discuss with the external evaluation institution the reasonableness of the evaluation method, key evaluation assumptions, parameter selection, forecast of future income, and discount rate of cash flow used in the goodwill impairment test; (5) Review the valuation method used for the asset group containing the goodwill and the evaluation report issued by the external evaluation institution. IV. Other Information The Management of Goertek Inc. (the Management) is responsible for Other Information. Other Information includes information covered in the 2023 Annual Report of Goertek Inc. but excludes financial statements and auditor's reports. Our auditor's opinions on financial statements do not cover Other Information. We also do not express any kind of verification conclusion on Other Information. In combination with our audit of the financial statements, we're obliged to read the Other Information. In the process, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or the information we obtained during the audit, or whether there is a material misstatement. Based on the work that we have already done, if we conclude that the Other Information contains material misstatements, we should report the fact. In this regard, we have nothing to report. V. Responsibilities of Management and Governance for the Financial Statements 94 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 The management of Goertek Inc. is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control necessary to ensure that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the ability of Goertek Inc. to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management intends to liquidate Goertek Inc. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Goertek Inc. VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures to address those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate as the basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit to design appropriate audit procedures. 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. 4. Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting. And, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Goertek Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to express a qualified opinion. Our conclusions are based on the information obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause Goertek Inc. to cease to continue as a going concern. 5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events. 6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of entities or business activities within Goertek Inc. to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the instruction, supervision and execution of the Group's audit, and assume full responsibility for the auditor's opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 95 Full Text of Goertek Inc.

Accounting treatments for business combination of enterprises under and not under common control Business combination means the transaction or matter in which two or more separate enterprises are combined into one reporting entity. Business combination is divided into business combination of enterprises under common control and business combination of enterprises not under common control. (1) Business combination involving enterprises under common control Business combination involving enterprises under common control is the combination in which enterprises combined are controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination, and such control is not temporary. In the business combination of enterprises under common control, the party which acquires the control of other enterprises in the business combination is the acquirer and the other enterprises in the business combination are the combined parties. Business combination date is the date on which the acquirer actually acquires the control of the acquirees. The assets and liabilities acquired by the acquirer are measured on the basis of book value of acquirees on business combination date. The difference between the book value of the net assets acquired by the acquirer and the book value of the consideration paid for the combination (or total par value of the shares issued) is adjusted to capital surplus (share capital premiums). Adjustments shall be made to undistributed profits in the event that the capital surplus (share capital premiums) are not sufficient for write-down. Any direct costs incurred by the acquirer as a result of the business combination are recognized in the profit or loss for current period when incurred. (2) Business combination of enterprises not under common control 123 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 Business combination of enterprises not under common control is the combination in which the enterprises combined are not controlled by the same party or parties before and after the business combination. In the business combination of enterprises not under common control, the party which acquires the control of other enterprises in the business combination on the acquisition date is the acquirer and the other enterprises in the business combination are the acquired parties. Acquisition date is the date on which the acquiring party actually acquires the control of the acquired parties. In the business combination of enterprises not under common control, the cost of combination includes the fair value of assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity securities issued by the acquiring party in exchange for the control of the acquired parties on the acquisition date, the audit, legal service, assessment, consulting and other intermediate fees incurred for business combination of enterprises, and other management fees, which are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period when incurred. The costs of the acquiring party for issuing equity or debt securities as part of the business consideration for the business combination are included in the initially recognized amount of these equity or debt securities. The contingent business consideration shall be included in the combination cost at its fair value on the acquisition date, and the goodwill shall be adjusted and combined accordingly if the contingent consideration needs to be adjusted when new or further evidences arise in connection with the circumstances existing on the acquisition date within 12 months after the acquisition date. The acquisition cost incurred by the acquiring party and the identifiable net assets acquired in the business combination shall be measured at the fair value on the acquisition date. If the combination cost is higher than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the acquired parties on the acquisition date, the difference thereof shall be recognized as the goodwill. If the combination cost is lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the acquired parties in the business combination, the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as well as the measurement of the combination cost shall be first reviewed. If upon review, the combination cost is still lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired from the acquired parties in the business combination, such difference shall be recognized in the profit or loss for current period. If the deductible temporary difference acquired by the acquiring party from the acquired parties is not recognized for failure to meet the conditions for recognition of the deferred tax assets on the acquisition date, and if new or further information is obtained within 12 months after the acquisition date, showing that relevant circumstances on the acquisition date have already existed and it is expected that the economic benefits brought about by the deductible temporary difference of the acquiring party on the acquisition date may be realized, relevant deferred tax assets shall be recognized and the goodwill shall be reduced. If the goodwill is insufficient for write- down, the difference will be recognized in the profit or loss for current period. In addition to the above condition, the deferred tax assets recognized in connection with the combination of enterprises shall be recognized in the profit or loss for current period. If the business combination of enterprises not under common control is realized step by step through multiple transactions, whether such transactions fall within a "package deal" shall be judged according to the standards for judgment of "package deal" in the Notice by the Ministry of Finance of Issuing the Interpretation No. 5 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Finance and Accounting [2012] No. 19) and Article 51 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 33 - Consolidated Financial Statements (see 7(2) of Note V). If they fall within "package deal", see the description in the previous paragraphs of this part and "19. Long-term equity investments" of Note V for accounting treatment. If they do not fall within "package deal", relevant accounting treatment shall be distinguished for individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements: In the individual financial statements, the sum of the book value of the equity investment of the acquired parties held before the acquisition date and the increased investment cost on the acquisition date shall be taken as the initial investment cost of such investment. If other comprehensive income is involved in the equity of the acquired parties held before the acquisition date, the accounting treatment of other comprehensive income while disposing such investment, shall be conducted on the same basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities by the acquired parties. In the consolidated financial statements, the equity of the acquired parties held before the acquisition date shall be remeasured at the fair value of such equity on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and its book value shall be recognized in investment income in current period. If other comprehensive income is involved in the equity of the acquired parties held before the acquisition date, the accounting treatment of other comprehensive income related, shall be conducted on the same basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities by the acquired parties. 7. Judgment criteria for control and method for preparing the consolidated financial statements (1) Principles for determination of the scope of consolidated financial statements The scope of the consolidation of consolidated financial statements shall be determined on the basis of control. Control means that the Group enjoys variable returns through its power in the invested parties and its participation in relevant activities of the invested parties, and is able to influence the amount of such returns by applying its power in the invested parties. The Company and all its subsidiaries are included in the scope of consolidation. Subsidiary means the entity controlled by the Group. 124 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 The Group shall launch re-assessment, if the changes in relevant facts and circumstances that lead to changes in relevant elements of the above control definition occur. (2) Method for preparing the consolidated financial statements The Company shall include the subsidiaries into the scope of consolidation from the date when it obtains the net assets and actual control over the production and operation decisions of the subsidiaries. It shall cease to do so as of the date when the actual control is lost. For the disposal subsidiaries, the business performance and cash flows prior to the disposal date have been appropriately included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows. The opening balance of the consolidated balance sheets shall not be adjusted for the subsidiaries disposed in current period. For the subsidiaries added through the combination of enterprises not under common control, the business performance and cash flows have been appropriately included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement after acquisition date. The opening balance and comparative figures of consolidated financial statements shall not be adjusted. For the subsidiaries added during combination of enterprises under common control and the subsidiaries under absorption combination, the business performance and cash flows, from the beginning of current period to acquisation date, have been appropriately included in consolidated income statement and consolidated cash flow statement. The comparison figures in the consolidated financial statements shall be adjusted at the same time. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, if the accounting policies or accounting periods of the subsidiaries are different from those of the Company, the financial statements of the subsidiaries shall be adjusted based on the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company. The individual financial statements of the subsidiaries acquired from combination of enterprises not under common control are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets on the acquisition date. All the material account balances, transactions and unrealized profits within the Group shall be offset during preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The shareholders' equity and current net gains or losses of the subsidiaries which are not owned by the Company shall be separately listed under the shareholders' equity and net profit in the consolidated financial statements as minority interest and minority interests. These current gains or losses of the subsidiaries which are attributable to the minority interest shall be presented as "minority interests" under the net profit of the consolidated financial statements. If the losses of the subsidiaries attributed to the minority shareholders are more than the shareholders' equity owned by the minority shareholders in such subsidiaries at the beginning of the period, the minority interests shall be offset. If the control of the previous subsidiaries is lost due to disposal of some equity investments or for any other reasons, the remaining equity shall be re-measured at fair value on the date when control is lost. The difference between the sum of consideration received from disposal of equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, and the Company's share of the previous subsidiaries' net assets calculated at the previous shareholding proportion from the acquisition date, shall be recognized in investment income in the period when control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to the equity investment of the previous subsidiaries shall be conducted on the same basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities by the acquired parties when the control is lost (Except for the change caused by the re-measurement of net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan in the previous subsidiary, the remaining part shall be converted into investment income for current period). Thereafter, such remaining equity shall be subject to subsequent measurement according to the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 - Long-term Equity Investments or Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Confirmation and Measurement of Financial Instruments and other relevant regulations. For details, please refer to "19. Long-term equity investments" of Note V or "11. Financial instruments" of Note V. If the Group disposes of the equity investment of the subsidiaries step by step through multiple transactions until it loses the control thereof, it is necessary to determine whether such transactions fall within "a package deal". The multiple transactions shall be taken as "package deal" for accounting treatment, if the terms, conditions and economic impacts of the transactions undertaken to dispose the equity investment of the subsidiaries meet one or more of the following conditions: ① these transactions are entered into at the same time or with their impacts on each other considered; ② a complete business result may be achieved only when these transactions when taken as a whole; ③ one transaction depends on at least one of the other transactions; ④ one transaction is not economical on its own, but it is economical when considered together with other transactions. If they do not fall within "package deal", each of them shall be subject to accounting treatment according to the principles applicable to ''Partial disposal of the long-term equity investments in the subsidiaries without losing control'' (for details, please refer to (2) ④ of 19 of Note V) and ''Loss of control of the previous subsidiaries due to disposal of some equity investments or for any other reasons'', as appropriate. If the transactions taken to dispose of the equity investment in the subsidiaries until loss of control are recognized as "package deal", these transactions shall be subject to accounting treatment as one transaction in which the subsidiaries are disposed and the control is lost. However, the difference between the price for each disposal before the control is lost and share of such subsidiaries' net assets as a result of disposal of investment, shall be recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and be included in profit or loss for the period when the control is lost. 125 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 8. Classification of joint venture arrangement and accounting treatment methods for joint operation None 9. Criteria for determining cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents of the Group include cash on hand, deposits available at any time for payment, and short-term (generally due within three months from the date of purchase) and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 10. Foreign currency business and foreign currency statement translation (1) Conversion method of foreign currency transaction A foreign currency transaction of the Group is translated into the functional currency at initial recognition, using the spot exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction (it means, in most cases, the central parity of the foreign exchange rate announced by the People's Bank of China on that day; the same hereinafter). However, a foreign currency exchange transaction or other foreign currency exchange involved transaction of the Group is translated into the functional currency using the actual exchange rate. (2) Translation method of monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies The foreign currency monetary items on the balance sheet date are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange differences arising therefrom are included in the current gains and losses, except for the exchange difference of the principal and interest of foreign currency special loans related to the acquisition and construction of assets eligible for capitalization. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency that are measured at historical cost shall still be valued in the functional currency and converted at the spot exchange rate as of the transaction date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency that are measured at fair value are converted by using the exchange rate at the date when fair value is determined and the difference between the converted functional currency amount and the prior amount in functional currency is recorded as profit or loss arising from a change in fair value (including exchange rate change) for the current period or other comprehensive income. (3) Translation method of foreign currency financial statements The foreign currency financial statements of overseas operations shall be converted into Chinese currency statements in accordance with the following methods: The assets and liabilities items in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date; except for "undistributed profits", other items of shareholder's equity are converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence. Revenues and expenses in the profit statement are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing in the period of the transactions. Undistributed profits in the beginning of the year are the undistributed profits at the end of the prior year as translated; undistributed profits at the end of the period are calculated and presented according to the translated profit distributions; exchange differences from translation between translated assets and translated liabilities and equities are recognized in other comprehensive income as exchange differences from translation. When the Group disposes of, and loses the control over, an overseas operation, exchange differences from translation which are presented in "equity" of the balance sheet and related to the overseas operation are, all or based on the disposal proportion, transferred to the profit or loss of the period of disposal. Cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing in the period of the cash flows. Any impact of exchange rate changes on cash is presented as a separate adjusting item in the cash flow statement. The amount in the beginning of the year and the actual amount of the prior year are presented as translated amounts based on the prior year's financial statements. When all the equities of the Group in an overseas operation are disposed, or the control over an overseas operation is lost for a disposal of partial equity investments or any other reason, exchange differences which are presented in "shareholder's equity/owner's equity" of the balance sheet, related to the overseas operation and attributable to the parent company are all transferred to the profit or loss of the period of disposal. If the proportion of equities in an overseas operation declines (but the control over that overseas operation is not lost) for a disposal of partial equity investments or any other reason, exchange differences which are related to that partial disposal are attributed to minority interest and not transferred to the profit or loss of the period of disposal. When the disposal of overseas operation involves a part of the equities in an associate or joint venture, exchange differences from translation which are related to the overseas operation are, based on the disposal proportion, transferred to the profit or loss of the period of disposal. 126 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 For any monetary item denominated in a foreign currency which is substantially net investment in an overseas operation, in the consolidated financial statements, exchange differences from the exchange rate changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as "exchange differences from translation", and when the overseas operation is disposed, are transferred to the profit or loss of the period of disposal. 11. Financial instruments A financial asset or financial liability shall be recognized when the Group becomes a party to a financial instrument contract. (1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets Pursuant to the business model of managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, financial assets are classified by the Group into financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets, when initially recognized, shall be measured at fair value. For the financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, the related transaction costs shall be included directly into current gains and losses. For the financial assets or financial liabilities of other categories, the related transaction costs shall be included in the initially recognized amount. For the accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sale of products or the provision of labor services, which do not include or consider major financing components, the amount of consideration that the Group is expected to be entitled to is taken as the initially recognized amount. ① Financial assets measured at amortized cost The Group's business model for managing financial assets is aimed to collect contractual cash flow, and the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangement, i.e., the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of principal and interest based on the amount of outstanding principal. For such financial assets, the Group shall perform subsequent measurements at the amortized cost by effective interest method. The gains or losses arising from amortization or impairment shall be included in current gains and losses. ② Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The Group's business model for managing this type of financial assets aims both to collect the contractual cash flow and to sell it, and the characteristics of contractual cash flow of this type of financial assets shall be consistent with the basic lending arrangement. The Group measures these financial assets at fair value and the changes thereof shall be included in other comprehensive income, but the impairment losses or gains, exchange gains and losses and interest income calculated by the effective interest method shall be included in current gains and losses. Apart from that, the Group shall designate some investments in non-trading equity instruments as financial assets measured at fair value and the changes thereof shall be included in other comprehensive income. The Group will include the relevant dividend income of this type of financial assets into current gains and losses, and the changes in fair value into other comprehensive income. Upon the termination of recognition of financial assets, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out of other comprehensive income and transferred to the undistributed profits, other than being included in current gains and losses. ③ Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The financial assets except those classified into financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income as mentioned above, are classified by the Group into those measured at fair value through profit and loss. In addition, at initial recognition, part of the financial assets can be recognized by the Group as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch. The financial assets are subsequently measured by the Group at fair value, and changes in fair value are included in current gains and losses. (2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, and other financial liabilities. For the financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, the related transaction costs shall be included directly in current gains and losses. For other financial liabilities, the related transaction costs shall be included in the initially recognized amount. ① Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss The financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss shall include financial liabilities held for trading (including derivatives falling into the category of financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as those measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition. 127 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 Financial liabilities held for trading (including derivatives falling into the category of financial liabilities) shall be subsequently measured at fair value. Except for hedging accounting, changes in fair value shall be included in current gains and losses. The amount of change in the fair value of a financial liability which is designated as those measured at fair value through profit or loss due to change in the Group's own credit risks shall be included in other comprehensive income. Upon the termination of recognition of such liability, the accumulative change in its fair value caused by the change of its own credit risk included in other comprehensive income is transferred to undistributed profits. The changes in its fair value shall be recorded in current gains and losses. If the treatment of the impact on the credit risk change of the financial liabilities in the above manner will cause or expand the accounting mismatch in the profit and loss, the Group will recognize all the gains or losses (including the changes in the Group's own credit risks) of the financial liabilities into current gains and losses. ② Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities except those caused by the transfer of financial assets that do not conform to the conditions for derecognition or continue to relate to the transferred financial assets and financial guarantee contracts shall be classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which shall be subsequently measured at amortized cost, and the gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortization shall be included in current gains and losses. (3) Principle of recognition and measurement method of financial asset transfer The financial asset shall be de-recognized if: ① The contractual right to receive cash flows of the financial asset is terminated; ②The financial asset has been transferred and almost all risks and rewards in the ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to the transferee; or ③ The financial asset has been transferred and the enterprise has neither transferred nor retained almost all risks and rewards in the ownership of the financial asset, but has waived its control over the financial asset. If the enterprise does not transfer or retain substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of a financial asset and if the enterprise does not waive its control over the financial asset, it shall, according to the extent of its continuous involvement in the transferred financial asset, recognize the relevant financial asset and recognize the relevant liabilities accordingly. The extent of involvement in the financial asset transferred, refers to the company's exposure to changes in the value of the financial assets. If the overall transfer of a financial asset meets the conditions for de-recognition, the difference between the book value of the transferred financial asset and the sum of the transfer consideration received and the change in fair value originally recognized in other comprehensive income will be recognized in current gains and losses. If the partial transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the book value of the transferred financial assets is apportioned between the derecognized part and the non-derecognized part according to their respective relative fair values, and the difference between the sum of the transfer consideration received and the change in fair value originally recognized in other comprehensive income and apportioned to the de-recognition component and the aforesaid attributed book value will be recognized in current gains and losses. If a financial asset is sold with the right of recourse or an endorsement, the Group needs to determine whether almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. If all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to the transferee, the Group shall de-recognize the financial asset; If all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the Group shall not de-recognize the financial asset. If none of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset has been transferred or retained, the Group shall continue to determine whether it retains the control over the asset, and the accounting standard stated in the aforesaid paragraphs shall apply. (4) Derecognition of financial liabilities When the current obligations of a financial liability (or part of it) have been discharged, the financial liability (or that part of the financial liability) shall be de-recognized by the Group accordingly. When the Group (borrower) signs an agreement with a lender to replace a financial liability with a new one, in case of substantially different terms of contract between the new one and the original one, the Group shall derecognize the original one and recognize the new one. If a substantial modification is made to all (or part of) the original financial liabilities by the Group, the original financial liabilities shall be de-recognized, and at the same time, a new financial liability shall be recognized in accordance with the modified terms. If all (or a part of) the financial liability is de-recognized, the difference between the book value allocated to the derecognized part and the consideration paid (including the transferred non-cash assets or the liabilities assumed) is included in current gains and losses by the Group. (5) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities When the Group has the legal right to offset the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, which is enforceable for the time being, and the Group plans to settle on a netting basis or capitalize financial assets and serve financial liabilities, any net amount from 128 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 netting of financial assets and financial liabilities shall be included in the balance sheet. Otherwise financial assets and financial liabilities shall be included separately in the balance sheet and shall not offset each other. (6) Method of determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities Fair value refers to the price that market participants can receive by selling an asset or need to pay by transferring a liability in the orderly transactions on the measurement date. The fair value of a financial instrument in an active market is determined by the Group at the price quoted in the active market. The quotation in an active market refers to the price that is easily acquired from exchanges, brokers, industry associations, pricing service agencies, and the like on a regular basis and represents the actual market transactions in fair trade. If there is no financial instrument in an active market, its fair value shall be determined by the Group via valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include looking into the prices used in recent market transactions by parties who refer to familiar situations and trade voluntarily and the current fair value of other financial instruments which are essentially the same, as well as using the discounted cash flow method, the option pricing model and the like. During valuation, the Group shall adopt the valuation techniques applicable under the current circumstances and supported by sufficient available data and other information, select the input values consistent with the characteristics of assets or liabilities considered by market participants in the transactions of related assets or liabilities, and give priority to the relevant observable input values as much as possible. The unobservable input values are used only when the relevant input values are unavailable or impracticable. (7) Equity instruments An equity instrument is a contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group's issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sales or cancellation of an equity instrument shall be accounted for as a change to equity. Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity. The Group does not recognize changes in the fair value of equity instruments. If the Group's equity instruments distribute dividends (covering "interest" incurred by instruments classified as equity instruments) during the existence thereof, the dividends shall be treated as profit distribution. 12. Impairment of financial assets The financial assets for which the Group needs to recognize the impairment losses are financial assets measured at amortized cost, which mainly include notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, contract assets, and so on. (1) Method for recognizing provision for impairment Based on the expected credit loss, the Group shall make provision for impairment of the aforementioned items by its applicable measurement method (general method or simplified method) of expected credit loss and recognize the credit impairment losses. Credit loss means the difference between all contractual cash flows receivable by the Group in accordance with the contract and all cash flows expected to be received, discounted at the original actual interest rate, i.e., the present value of all cash shortages. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets shall be discounted by the Group according to credit-adjusted effective interest rate adjusted by credit of such financial assets. According to the general methods to measure expected credit losses, the Group evaluates whether the credit risk of the financial assets (including other applicable items; the same hereinafter) has increased significantly since the initial recognition at each balance sheet date. If the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Group measures its loss allowance according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument over its expected lifetime; if the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures its loss allowance according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument in the next 12 months. When assessing expected credit loss, the Group gives consideration to all reasonable and well-founded information, including forward-looking information. For financial instruments with relatively low credit risks on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes that their credit risks have not increased significantly since initial recognition, and measures loss allowance based on the expected credit loss within the next 12 months. (2) Criteria for judging whether the credit risks have increased significantly since initial recognition When the default probability of a financial asset within the expected duration determined on the balance sheet date is significantly higher than that in initial recognition, it suggests that the credit risks of the financial asset have significantly increased. Except under special circumstances, the Group determines whether credit risks have increased significantly since initial recognition by estimating the changes in lifetime risk of default occurring based on the changes in 12-month risk of default occurring as a reasonable. (3) Grouping method for assessing the expected credit risks 129 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 The Group carries out separate credit risk evaluation for financial assets with significantly different credit risks, including receivables in dispute with the other party or involving litigation or arbitration; accounts receivable where there are obvious signs that the debtor may not be able to fulfill the repayment obligation, etc. Except for the financial assets that are individually assessed for credit risks, the Group shall classify the financial assets into different groups in view of the common risk characteristics, and assess the credit risks on the basis of groups. (4) Accounting treatment methods for impairment of financial assets At the end of a period, the Group shall calculate the expected credit loss of all types of financial assets. If the expected credit loss is greater than the book value of its current provision for impairment, the difference shall be recognized as impairment loss; if it is less than the book value of current provision for impairment, the difference shall be recognized as impairment gain. (5) Determination method for measurement of expected credit losses of various financial assets ①Notes receivable For note receivable, the Group measures loss allowance according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss over the lifetime. Depending on their credit risk characteristics, notes receivable are classified into different groups: Item Basis for determining groups Bank acceptance notes The acceptor is a bank with low credit risk Commercial acceptance notes By acceptor's credit risk (the same as that of accounts receivable) ②Accounts receivable For accounts receivable not containing significant financing components, the Group measures loss allowance according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss over the lifetime. Except for accounts receivable for which credit risk is assessed separately, depending on their credit risk characteristics, accounts receivable is classified into different groups: Item Basis for determining groups Except for the receivables for which the loss allowance of impairment has been calculated separately, the Group shall determine, through present situation analysis, the proportion of Accounts receivable aging group allowance for bad debt based on the expected credit loss rate of identical or similar receivables in previous years with similar credit risk characteristics classified by aging The parent and subsidiary companies included in the consolidated financial statements are Related party group divided into groups according to equity relationship. ③Other receivables and factoring receivables The Group measures impairment losses based on whether the credit risk of other receivables and factoring receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition, using an amount equivalent to expected credit loss within the next 12 months or entire duration. ④Financing receivables Financing receivables are primarily classified as notes receivable and accounts receivable which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and are presented under "financing receivables" if they have original maturity of up to one year (including one year) or under other debt investments if they have original maturity more than one year as from the initial recognition date. Based on their credit risk characteristics, financing receivables are classified into different groups: Item Basis for determining groups Bank acceptance notes The acceptor is a bank with low credit risk Commercial acceptance notes Classified by the acceptor's credit risk, the same as that of the "Accounts receivable" group Accounts receivable Same as that of the "Accounts Receivable" group 13. Notes receivable For further details, please see this Note V. 11. "Financial Instruments" and 12. "Impairment of Financial Assets". 14. Accounts receivable For further details, please see this Note V. 11. "Financial Instruments" and 12. "Impairment of Financial Assets". 130 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 15. Financing receivables For further details, please see this Note V. 11. "Financial Instruments" and 12. "Impairment of Financial Assets". 16. Other receivables For further details, please see this Note V. 11. "Financial Instruments" and 12. "Impairment of Financial Assets". 17. Contract assets The Group records the right where the client has not paid the contract consideration but the Group has performed its contract obligation and the Group is not prevented from being unconditionally paid by the client (depending on the lapse of time only) as contract assets in the balance sheet. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are listed on a net basis. Contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts will not be offset. For methods of determining and accounting for expected credit losses on contract assets, please see the Note V.12. "Impairment of Financial Assets". 18. Inventories (1) Classification of inventory Inventory types include among others raw materials, goods in stock, revolving materials and products in progress. (2) Valuation methods of inventory acquired and sold When inventory is acquired, it is measured based on actual cost, including purchase cost, processing cost and other costs. When inventory is acquired and sold, it is priced according to the monthly weighted average method. (3) Basis for determining net realisable values of inventories and method for making provision for decline in the value of inventories Net realizable value means the estimated selling price of inventory less the estimated cost to be incurred by the time of completion, the estimated selling expense and related taxes. In determining the net realizable value of inventory, based on obtained evidence, the Group considers the purpose of the inventory and the impact of any matters occurring after the balance sheet date. On the balance sheet date, inventory is measured at cost or net realizable value (whichever is lower). If the net realizable value is lower than its cost, the Group will make provision for inventory depreciation. The provision for decline in the value of inventories is generally made at the difference between an inventory item's cost and its net realizable value. For the inventory with a large quantity and relatively low unit price, the provision for decline in the value of inventories is accrued based on the inventory category; for inventories associated with product series manufactured and sold in the same area, with the same or similar end use or purpose, and are difficult to be measured separately from other items, the provision for decline in the value of inventories are aggregated. For raw materials with a large quantity and low unit price, the provision of inventory depreciation is generally made according to the time the inventory has been kept. After the provision of inventory depreciation is made, if the original trigger for inventory write-down has disappeared so that the net realizable value of the inventory is higher than the book value, the amount of provision of inventory depreciation shall be reversed, and the reversed amount shall be recognized in current gains and losses. (4) The existing stock inventory system is a perpetual inventory system. (5) Amortization method of revolving materials The Group's revolving materials include low-value consumables and packaging materials. Large revolving materials are amortized at the time of receipt over months of the expected useful life. Other low-value consumables are amortized at the time of receipt using the one-off amortization method. Packaging materials are amortized at the time of receipt using the one-off amortization method. 19. Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments in this part refer to the long-term equity investments through which the Group has control, joint control or significant influence over investee. The long-term equity investments through which the Group does not have control, joint control or significant influence over investee, is taken as a financial asset at fair value recorded in current gains and losses. If it is non-trading, the Group can choose to designate it as a financial asset at fair value recorded in other comprehensive income at initial recognition. For details about the relevant accounting policy, please see this Note V. 11. "Financial Instrument". Joint control refers to the Group's common control of an arrangement in accordance with relevant agreement, and the relevant activities of the arrangement must be unanimously agreed by the participants sharing the control before a decision can be made. Significant 131 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 influence refers to the Group's right to participate in the decision-making of an invested entity's financial and operational policies, but not to control or jointly control the formulation of these policies with other parties. (1) Determination of investment cost For long-term equity investments arising from business combination under the same control, the proportion of the book value of the stakeholders' equity of the merged party in the consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party is regarded as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments on the combination date. If there is a difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and the cash paid, non-cash assets transferred, and book value of liabilities assumed, the capital surplus shall be adjusted. Where the capital surplus is insufficient to absorb the difference, undistributed profits shall be adjusted. The investments cost which adopts the equity securities issued as the consideration should be adopted as the initial investments cost of the long-term equity investments according to the proportion of the book value of the stakeholders' equity of the merged party in the consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party, and adjust the capital surplus by the difference between the initial investments cost of long-term equity investments and the amount of issued stock's face value (regarded as share capital). If the capital surplus is insufficient to absorb the difference, undistributed profits should be adjusted. If the equity of the acquiree under the same control is acquired step by step through multiple transactions leading to a merger of enterprises under the same control, the transactions shall be confirmed whether they belong to a "package transaction": If they belong to a "package transaction", all transactions shall be treated as one transaction over which the acquiree has control. If it is not a "package transaction", the Group regards the initial cost of the long-term equity investments as the proportion of the shareholders' equity of the acquired enterprise to the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the final controller at the date of combination. If there is a difference between the initial investments cost of long-term equity investments on the date of combination and the sum of the book value of the long-term equity investments before the merger plus the book value of the new share payment consideration on the date of combination, the capital surplus shall be adjusted. Where the capital surplus is insufficient to absorb the difference, undistributed profits shall be adjusted. If the equity investment held before the combination date is measured using the equity method or recorded as a financial asset at fair value in other comprehensive income. The other comprehensive income recognized as a result will not be accounted temporarily. For the acquisition of long-term equity investments involving enterprises under common control, the Group regards the initial cost of the long-term equity investments at that date as business combination cost, including the sum of fair values of assets paid, liabilities incurred or borne, and equity securities issued, by the buyer. If the equity of the acquiree is acquired step by step through multiple transactions leading to a merger of enterprises under different control, the transactions shall be confirmed whether they belong to a "package transaction": If they belong to a "package transaction", all transactions shall be treated as one transaction over which the acquiree has control. If it is not a "package transaction", the sum of the book value of the original equity investments plus the new investments cost is regarded as the initial investments cost of long-term equity investments calculated by the cost method. If the previous equity is measured using the equity method, the relevant other comprehensive income will not be accounted temporarily. Acquisition-related costs including auditing fees, legal services fees, valuation advice fees and other relevant management fees are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred. A long-term equity investments acquired other than through a business combination is initially measured at the cost, and such cost is determined at the amount of cash paid by the Group, the fair value of the equity securities issued by the Group, the value agreed in an investment contract or agreement, the fair value or book value of asset exchanged in the non-monetary asset exchange, or the fair value of the long-term equity investments. Costs, taxes and other necessary expenses directly related to the acquisition of the long-term equity investments are also included in the investment cost. If additional investments addition has a significant influence over investee, or jointly control other than the control over investee, the cost of long-term equity investments shall be the sum of the fair value of the original equity investments determined according to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments and the cost of the additional investment. (2) Method of subsequent measurement and recognition of gains and losses The long-term equity investments through which the Group has joint control (except for joint operation) or significant influence over investee shall be calculated by the equity method. The Group's financial statements use the cost method to calculate long-term equity investments that constitutes control over invested entities. ① Long-term equity investments calculated by cost method Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investments cost. Increasing or reducing investments will adjust the cost of long-term equity investments accordingly. Except for actual price paid when the investment is obtained or the cash dividends or profits that are included in the consideration that has been declared but not yet disbursed, the current investment income shall be recognized according to the cash dividends or profits declared by the invested entity. ② Long-term equity investments accounted by equity method 132 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 When the initial investments cost of long-term equity investments accounted under equity method is greater than the investments, the difference in the fair value share of the identifiable net assets of the invested entity is enjoyed, without adjusting the initial investments cost of long-term equity investments; when the initial investments cost is less than the investments, the difference in the fair value share of the identifiable net assets of the invested entity is included in the current gains and losses, and the cost of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted accordingly. When the equity method is adopted, according to the share of the net profit and loss and other comprehensive income realized by the invested entity, the investment income and other comprehensive income shall be recognized respectively, and the book value of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted; the book value of the long-term equity investments is reduced correspondingly in accordance with the portion of the profits or cash dividends declared and distributed by the invested entity; for changes in owner's equity other than net profit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the invested entity, the book value of long- term equity investments shall be adjusted and included in capital surplus. The share of net profit and loss of the invested entity shall be recognized, based on the fair value of various identifiable assets of the invested entity when the investment is made, after adjustment of the net profit of the invested entity. When the accounting policy and accounting period adopted by the invested entity are inconsistent with those of the Group, the investment income and other comprehensive income shall be recognized based on the adjusted financial statements of the invested entity in accordance with the Group's accounting policies and accounting period. For the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures, if the invested or sold asset does not constitute a business, unrealized gains or losses resulting from the transactions are recognized as investment income or loss to the extent that those attributable to the Group's equity interest are eliminated. However, unrealized losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its invested entity in respect of impairment losses on the transferred assets should not be eliminated. If the asset invested by the Group to its associates and joint ventures constitutes a business, to the extent that the investor realizes long-term equity investments other than control, the fair value of the invested business shall be the initial investments cost of the additional long-term equity investments, and the difference between the initial investments cost and the book value of the invested business shall be recorded in the profit or loss of the current period. If the asset sold by the Group to its associates and joint ventures constitutes a business, the difference between the consideration received and the book value of the invested business shall be recorded in the profit or loss of the current period. If the asset purchased by the Group from its associates or joint ventures constitutes a business, the accounting shall be made pursuant to the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 20 - Business Combination shall apply, the gain or loss from the transaction shall be fully recognized. The Group de-recognizes its share of net losses of the invested entity after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investments together with any long-term interests that substantially constitute part of its net investments in the invested entity shall be written down to zero. In addition, if the Group has the obligation to bear additional losses to the invested entity, the provisions shall be recognized according to the expected obligations and be recorded in the investment losses of the current period. Where net profits are subsequently made by the invested entity, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized. ③ Acquisition of minority interest When preparing consolidated financial statements, if there is a difference between the new long-term equity investments acquired as a result of the purchase of minority shares and the share of net assets continuously calculated from the date of purchase (or merger) of the subsidiary based on the new shareholding ratio, the capital surplus shall be adjusted. Where capital surplus is insufficient to offset the difference, the undistributed profits are adjusted. ④ Long-term equity investments disposal In consolidated financial statements, where a parent company partially disposes of a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary without losing the control over it, the difference between the disposing price and the net assets of the subsidiary obtained from the disposal of the long-term equity investments shall be recognized in the shareholder's equity. If it's partial disposal by a parent company of a long- term equity investment in a subsidiary and the control over the subsidiary is lost, the accounting policy stipulated in this Note V. 7. (2) "Method for Preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements" shall apply. For disposal of long-term equity investments in other situations, the difference between the disposed equity's book value and the actual proceeds is included in the current gains and losses. When the Group reduces its ownership interest in investee but continues to use the equity method for long-term equity investments, other comprehensive income previously recorded as shareholders' equity is disposed in proportion, subject to the accounting treatment applicable to the assets or liabilities related to direct disposal of the invested entity. The equity recognized by the Group, other than the change of the net profits and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the invested entity, is transferred to current gains and losses in proportion. When the Group reduces its ownership interest but the Group continues to use the cost method for long-term equity investments, for the other comprehensive income recognized by the Group using equity method prior to the control over the investee or under financial 133 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 instrument recognition and measurement standard, other comprehensive income previously recorded as shareholders' equity is subject to the accounting treatment applicable to the assets or liabilities related to direct disposal of the invested entity and is transferred to current gains and losses in proportion. Then the other changes in shareholders' equity recognized by the Group using equity method, not arising from the change of the net profits and loss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution of the invested entity, are reclassified to profit and loss in proportion. If the Group loses its control over the invested entity due to the disposal of a portion of an equity investment, the equity method is adopted in the preparation of individual financial statements when the remaining equity allows the Group to exercise joint control or hold significant influence on the invested entity, and the remaining equity after disposal is regarded as being adjusted by the equity method at the time of acquisition; if the remaining equity after disposal does not allow the Group to exercise joint control or hold significant influence on the invested entity, it is calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of financial instrument recognition and measurement standards, and the difference between the fair value and the book value on the day when the control is lost is recorded in current gains and losses. If other comprehensive income recognized, using the equity method or under the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments before the Group obtains the control over the invested entity, is subject to the accounting treatment applicable to the assets or liabilities related to direct disposal of the invested entity when the control over the invested entity is lost, changes in the shareholders' equity of the net assets of the invested entity recognized using the equity method, except for net gains and losses, other comprehensive income and profit distributions, shall be transferred to current gains and losses when the control over the invested entity is lost. Other comprehensive income and other shareholders' equity are transferred in proportion when the remaining equity after disposal is calculated by the equity method. If the remaining equity after disposal is calculated in accordance with the standards for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, other comprehensive income and other shareholders' equity are transferred in full. If joint control or significant influence on the invested entity is lost by the Group due to the disposal of some equity investments, the remaining equity after disposal is calculated according to the financial instrument recognition and measurement standards. The difference between the fair value and the book value on the day when joint control or significant influence is lost is recorded in current gains and losses. Other comprehensive income of the equity investment previously recognized using the equity method is subject to the accounting treatment applicable to the assets or liabilities related to direct disposal of the invested entity when the Group stops using the equity method. Shareholders' equity recognized by the Group, other than the change of the net profits and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the invested entity, is reclassified to profit and losses fully when the Group stops using the equity method. The equity investments in the subsidiary is disposed of step by step by the Group through multiple transactions until the control is lost. The aforementioned transactions, if belong to package transactions, are disposed as one transaction for disposal of the equity investments of the subsidiary and loss of control. The difference between the price of each disposal before the control is lost and the book value of long-term equity investments related to the disposed equity are recorded in other comprehensive income, and then transferred to the profit or loss of the current period when the control is lost. 20. Investment properties Measurement of investment properties Measurement by cost method Depreciation or amortization method Investment properties mean the properties held for the purpose of rent earning or capital appreciation, or both. It includes the land use rights that have been leased, the land use rights that are held for transfer upon appreciation, and the leased buildings. In addition, the vacant buildings held by the Group for the purpose of leases will also be reported as investment properties, if the board of directors (or similar authority) makes a resolution in written form that expressly indicates that the buildings will be used for leases and the intention of holding will not change in the short term. Investment properties are initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenses related to investment properties shall, if economic profits related to the property are likely to be gained and its costs can be measured reliably, be recorded as the cost of investment properties. Other subsequent expenditures are recorded in the current gains and losses when incurred. The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. The investment properties are depreciated or amortized in accordance with policies consistent with building or land use rights. When self-use properties or inventories are converted to investment properties, or investment properties are converted to self-use properties, the value after the conversion shall be recognized at the book value before the conversion. 134 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 When investment properties are disposed or permanently withdrawn from use and is not expected to obtain economic benefits from its disposal, the investment properties shall be de-recognized. The disposal income from the sale, transfer, abandonment or destruction of investment properties less its book value and relevant taxes shall be recognized in current losses and profits. 21. Fixed assets (1) Recognition criteria Fixed assets mean the tangible assets held with an estimated useful life exceeding one fiscal year for the production of goods, provision of labor services, leasing or management. Fixed assets may be recognized when they meet the following conditions: Economic benefits relating to the fixed asset are likely to be gained by the Group, and the cost of the fixed asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost, with the influence of estimated abandonment cost taken into account. (2) Depreciation methods Annual depreciation Category Depreciation methods Estimated useful life Residual value rate rate Buildings Straight-line method 20-30 years 5%-10% 3%-4.75% Production equipment Straight-line method 5-10 years 5%-10% 9%-19% Measuring equipment Straight-line method 5-10 years 5%-10% 9%-19% Office equipment Straight-line method 5 years 5%-10% 18%-19% Transportation equipment Straight-line method 5 years 5%-10% 18%-19% Fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method from the month following that in which they reach their intended usable condition. The estimated net residual value is the amount that the Group would currently obtain from the disposal of a fixed asset, net of estimated disposal costs, assuming that the fixed asset has completed its estimated useful life and is in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. (3) Explanation of other matters: Subsequent expenditures relating to fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets and the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized if it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow and its cost can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditures, except for these, are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Fixed assets are derecognized when they are in a disposal condition or when no economic benefits are expected to arise from their use or disposal. The difference between the disposal proceeds from the sale, transfer, retirement or destruction of fixed assets, net of their carrying amount and related taxes, is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. The Group reviews the useful life, estimated net residual value and depreciation method of fixed assets at least at the end of the year and treats any changes as changes in accounting estimates. 22. Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at actual cost, including various construction expenditures incurred during the period of construction, capitalized borrowing costs and other related expenses before the project reaches the predetermined conditions for use. Fixed assets under construction are transferred to fixed assets at their estimated value from the date they are ready for the intended use. This is done in accordance with the project budget, costs, or actual project expenses. This applies when the project has reached its intended condition of use but the final accounts have not yet been finalized. Equipment scheduled for installation is transferred to fixed assets upon reaching the intended condition of use, while equipment requiring installation and commissioning is transferred to fixed assets after reaching the intended condition of use. Criteria and timing for specific transfer of each category of the Company's construction in progress to fixed assets: Category Criteria and timing for the transfer to fixed assets Buildings (1) The main construction works and ancillary works have been substantially completed; 135 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 Category Criteria and timing for the transfer to fixed assets (2) The construction projects have met the predetermined design requirements and have been accepted by units responsible for investigation, design, construction, and supervision; (3) The works have been accepted by external departments including fire-fighting and planning departments; (4) Construction works that have reached the intended condition of use but have not yet been finalized are transferred to fixed assets at their estimated value based on the actual cost of the works from the date of reaching the intended condition of use. Machines and (1) The relevant equipment and other supporting facilities have been installed; equipment that (2) The equipment can maintain normal and stable operation for a period of time after commissioning; require installation (3) The production equipment can produce qualified products stably for a period of time; and commissioning (4) The equipment has been accepted by asset managers and users. 23. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest on borrowing, amortization of discount or premium, auxiliary expenses and exchange differences due to foreign currency borrowing, etc. Borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized when the asset expenditure has been incurred, the borrowing cost has been incurred, and the acquisition, construction or production necessary to make the asset reach the predetermined conditions for use or sale has started, and the capitalization shall discontinue when the constructed or produced assets eligible for capitalization reach the predetermined conditions for use or sale. The remaining borrowing costs are recognized as costs at the time of occurrence. The amount to be capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on the specific borrowings less any bank interest earned from unused funds of the designated borrowings or any investment income arising from the temporary investment of those funds. The amount to be capitalized on the general borrowings is calculated by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess amounts of cumulative expenditures on the asset over and above the amounts of the specific borrowings. Capitalization rate is calculated and determined based on the weighted average interest rate of general borrowings. During the period of capitalization, exchange differences arising from special borrowings in a foreign currency shall be fully capitalized, and exchange differences arising from general borrowings in a foreign currency shall be recognized in gains and losses. Assets eligible for capitalization refer to fixed assets, investment properties, inventories and other assets that need to go through quite a long time of acquisition or production activities to reach the predetermined usable or salable state. If an abnormal interruption of assets eligible for capitalization occurs in the process of acquisition, construction or production and continues over 3 months, the capitalization of borrowing costs shall cease and shall not restart until the acquisition, construction or production of such assets resume. 24. Right-of-use assets See Note 36. "Lease"for details 25. Intangible assets (1) Estimated useful life and its determination basis, estimation, amortization method or review procedures Intangible assets mean the identifiable non-monetary assets owned or controlled by the Group without physical substance. The intangible assets shall be initially measured at cost. Expenses related to the intangible assets are recognized in the cost of intangible assets when it is likely that the associated economic benefits will be gained by the Group and the associated costs can be measured reliably. Other expenses related to the intangible assets are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. The acquired land use right is generally recognized as intangible assets. Expenses related to land use right and construction cost from buildings such as self-built factory, etc. are recognized as intangible assets and fixed assets, respectively. In the case of purchased buildings, related costs are shared between the cost of land use rights and the cost of buildings. The related costs that cannot be allocated reasonably are recognized as fixed assets. When intangible assets with a finite useful life are available for use, their original cost is amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Intangible assets with uncertain useful life shall not be amortized. 136 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 The amortization method for intangible assets with finite useful life is as follows: Item Estimated useful life Amortization method Basis for determination Land-use right 37-50 years Straight-line method Property rights registration period Non-patent technology 2-10 years Straight-line method Expected years of economic benefits Patent right 7-10 years Straight-line method Expected years of economic benefits Trade mark 5 years Straight-line method Expected years of economic benefits Software 3-10 years Straight-line method Expected years of economic benefits For intangible assets with a finite useful life, the Group reviews their useful life and amortization method at the end of the period, and accounts for any change as a change in an accounting estimate. For intangible assets with uncertain useful life, the Group reviews their useful life. If it is evident that the duration of associated economic benefits is predictable, the useful life is estimated and the asset is amortized pursuant to amortization policies for intangible assets with finite useful life. (2) Scope and accounting treatment of R&D expenditures The Group classifies various expenses directly related to conducting R&D activities as R&D expenditures, including employees' remuneration, direct investments, depreciation expenses, depreciation expenses of right-of-use assets, equipment commissioning and testing expenses, external R&D services, and amortization of intangible assets. The expenditure for research and development projects in the Group is divided into research phase expenditure and development phase expenditure. The classification into the expenditure in the research phase or the expenditure in the development phase in relation to internal R&D projects of the Group conforms to the following standards: Expenditures in the research phase are defined as those spent in an innovative, explorative and planned investigation to acquire and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. The research is the preparation in documents and other aspects for further development. It is very uncertain whether the completed research will move onto the development phase and whether the development will lead to the emergence of an intangible asset. Therefore, the Group includes the expenditures in the research phase in expenses and recognize them in the profit or loss of the current period. Expenditures in the development phase refer to the expenditures incurred during the stage of applying research results or other knowledge to a project or design to produce new or substantially improved materials, devices and products before commercial mass production or use. As the development phase comes after the research phase, the majority of basic conditions for a new product or technology have been established. Thus, the Group recognizes the expenditures in development phase eligible for capitalization as intangible assets. Gross expenditures incurred in the period from the point when the conditions for capitalization are satisfied to the point when intangible assets are ready for the intended purpose are capitalized. No adjustment will be made further for any expenditure that has been included in expense and recognized in profit or loss before the same intangible assets have met the conditions for capitalization in the development phase. Expenditures in the research phase are included in the current gains and losses when incurred. Expenditures in the development phase are recognized as intangible assets only when the following conditions are all satisfied, or are included in the profit or loss of the current period: ① Having completed the intangible assets, enabling them to be technically feasible for use or sale; ② Having the intention to complete the intangible assets and use or sell them; ③ The ways in which intangible assets generate economic benefits, including the proof that there is a market for the product produced using the intangible assets or for the intangible assets. Where the intangible assets are used internally, their usefulness shall be proved; ④ Having sufficient technical, financial and other resources to complete the development of the intangible assets, and having the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; ⑤ Expenditures attributable to the development phase of the intangible assets can be measured reliably. If it is impossible to distinguish between expenditures in the research phase and expenditures in the development phase, the R&D expenditures incurred shall be included in the profit or loss of the current period. 137 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 26. Impairment of long-term assets For non-current and non-financial assets including fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful life, investment properties measured at cost, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the Group assesses whether there is an indication of impairment at the date of balance sheet. If there is such an indication, the Group estimates the recoverable amount and carries out an impairment test. An impairment test shall be conducted every year for intangible assets with uncertain goodwill and useful life and those have not yet reached the usable state, regardless of whether there are signs of impairment. If the impairment test results show that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its book value, the provision for impairment is accrued according to the difference and is recorded in the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the asset less the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset. The fair value of an asset is measured as the price agreed in a sales contract concluded in good faith. In absence of any such sales contract, if there is an active market for the asset, the best information available is used as a basis to estimate the fair value of the asset. Disposal expenses include legal fees, taxes and transportation fees related to the disposal of an asset, and direct expenses incurred to make the asset salable. The present value of expected future cash flows of an asset is measured by applying an appropriate discount rate to the expected future cash flows generated during the continuous use of the asset at the time of final disposal. The asset impairment provision is calculated and recognized on the basis of individual assets. In the case of difficulty in estimating the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the individual asset belong is calculated. An asset group is the smallest unit of combined assets that can generate cash inflows independently. For goodwill listed separately in the financial statements, the carrying amount of such goodwill arising from business combinations is allocated to relevant asset groups or asset groups. If the test results show that the recoverable amount of asset groups or combination of asset groups containing allocated goodwill is lower than its book value, the corresponding impairment loss shall be recognized. The amount of impairment loss shall firstly be deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill embodied in the asset groups or combination of asset groups, then be deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets based on the proportions of their carrying amounts in the asset groups or combination of asset groups. The impairment losses of assets will not be reversed in subsequent periods once recognized. 27. Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses refer to expenses that have already incurred but should be borne by the current and future instalments for a period of more than one year. Long-term prepaid expenses shall be amortized according to the straight-line method within the estimated period of benefit. 28. Contract liabilities Contract liabilities are defined as the Group's obligation to transfer goods to a client for received or receivable consideration from the client. The Group presents as contract liabilities, at the earlier time point of actual payment by a client or the payment due, if the Group has paid the contract consideration or the Group has acquired the right to collect unconditionally before the goods are transferred by the Group to the client. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are listed on a net basis. Contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts will not be offset. 29. Employee benefits (1) Accounting treatment of short-term benefits The Group's employee benefits consists mainly of short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Including: Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee welfare fees, medical insurance contributions, maternity insurance contributions and work injury insurance contributions, housing provident fund contributions, union running costs and employee education costs, and non-monetary benefits. During the accounting period when the employees provide services for the Group, the short-term remuneration actually incurred is recognized as a liability and recorded in the current gains and losses or related asset costs. The non-monetary welfare in short-term remuneration should be measured at fair value. 138 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 (2) Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits Post-employment benefit mainly covers basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance. Most of post-employment benefit plans are mainly defined benefit plans. The defined benefit plans of the Group are basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance, and the contributions thereto are recorded in the asset cost or the profit or loss of the current period when they occur. (3) Accounting treatment of termination benefits Where the Group terminates the labor relationship with an employee before the labor contract expires, or offers proposed compensation for encouraging the employee to accept the redundancies voluntarily, if the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefits provided by the termination of labor relations plan or reduction proposal, and the Group recognizes the costs related to the reorganization involving the payment of the termination benefits (whichever comes first), the employee benefits liabilities arising from the termination benefits are recognized and recorded in the current gains and losses. However, termination benefits which are expected not to be fully paid within twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period are accounted for as other long-term employee benefits. Internal employee retirement programs are accounted for, using the above method applicable to termination benefits. The Group recognizes in the profit or loss of the current period (termination benefits) employee salaries and contributions to the employee's social insurance covered by its internal retirement program from the day when the employees stop their services until their statutory retirement dates, when the conditions for provisions are satisfied. (4) Accounting treatment of other long-term employee benefits If other long-term employee benefit provided by the Group for its employees constitutes the defined contribution plan, the accounting treatment for the defined contribution plan applies. In any other circumstance, the accounting treatment for the defined benefit plan applies. 30. Provisions Obligation relating to a contingent are recognized as provisions when they meet the following conditions: (1) the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency; (2) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (3) the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Provisions are measured against the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. If all or part of the expenses required to settle the provisions are expected to be compensated by a third party, the amount of compensation is recognized separately as an asset when it is basically recognized that it can be received, and the recognized compensation amount doesn't exceed the book value of the provision. 31. Share-based payment (1) Accounting treatment of share-based payment Share-based payment is a transaction where equity instruments are granted or equity instrument-based liabilities are assumed for the consideration of the services provided by employees or other parties. Share-based payment is classified into equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. ① Equity-settled share-based payment Equity-settled share-based payments made for the consideration of the services provided by the employees, is measured at the fair value of equity instruments on the date of grant to the employees. In the case that the right can be exercised after the completion of services in the vesting period or satisfaction of stipulated performance conditions, the fair value amount shall, on the basis of the best estimate of the quantity of equity instruments with vesting in the vesting period, be recorded in relevant cost or expense using the straight-line method. In the case that the right can be exercised immediately after the grant, it is recorded in relevant cost or expense on the grant date, and the capital surplus is increased accordingly. On each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the Group makes the best estimate based on the latest available follow-up information such as changes in the number of employees with vested rights, and revises the estimated number of equity instruments with vesting. The impact of the above estimation is recorded in the cost or expense of the current period, and the capital surplus adjusted accordingly. 139 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 Equity-settled share-based payments made for the consideration of the services provided by other parties shall, if the fair value of the services can be measured reliably, is measured at fair value at the date of grant, and if the fair value of the services cannot be measured reliably but the fair value of the equity instruments can be measured reliably, is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. They are recorded in the cost or expense, and the shareholder's equity is increased accordingly. ② Cash-settled share-based payment Cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured according to the fair value of liabilities determined on the basis of shares or other equity instruments undertaken by the Group. In the case that the right is exercised immediately after the grant, it is recorded in relevant cost or expense, and the liability is increased accordingly. If the right is exercised only after the completion of services in the vesting period and satisfaction of stipulated performance conditions, on each balance sheet date within the vesting period, based on the best estimate of the vesting condition and according to the fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Group, the services acquired in the current period are recorded in the costs or expenses, and the liability is increased accordingly. On each balance sheet date and settlement date before the settlement of related liabilities, the fair value of liabilities shall be re-measured, and the changes shall be recorded in the current gains and losses. (2) Accounting treatment related to modification and termination of share-based payment plan When the Group modifies the share-based payment plan, if the fair value of the granted equity instruments is increased by modification, the increase of the services acquired shall be recognized according to the increase of the fair value of the equity instruments. The increase of fair value of equity instruments refers to the difference between the fair values of equity instruments before and after modification on the modification date. If the total fair value of share-based payment is reduced by modification or other ways that are unfavorable to employees, the accounting treatment of the acquired services will continue, as if the change never happened unless the Group cancels some or all of the granted equity instruments. During the vesting period, if the granted equity instruments are canceled, the Group will treat the cancellation of the granted equity instruments as accelerated exercise, and immediately record the amount to be recognized in the remaining vesting period into the current gains and losses, and recognize the capital surplus at the same time. If the employee or other party can choose to meet the non- vesting condition but fails to meet it during the vesting period, the Group will treat it as cancellation for granting equity instruments. (3) Accounting treatment of share-based payment transactions involving the Group and the Company's shareholders or de facto controllers Share-based payment transactions involving the Group and the Company's shareholders or de facto controllers, where one of the settlement enterprise and the service receiving enterprise is located within the Group and the other outside the Group, are treated in the Group's consolidated financial statements in accordance with the following provisions: ①If the settlement enterprise settles the transaction with its own equity instruments, the share-based payment transaction is treated as equity-settled share-based payment; otherwise, it is treated as cash-settled share-based payment. If the settlement enterprise is an investor of the service recipient, it is recognized as a long-term equity investment in the service recipient based on the fair value of the equity instrument or the fair value of the liabilities to be assumed at the date of grant, with capital surplus (other capital surplus) or liabilities recognized at the same time. ②If the service recipient does not have a settlement obligation or has granted its own equity instruments to its own employees, the share-based payment transaction is treated as equity-settled share-based payment; if the service recipient has a settlement obligation and has granted its own equity instruments to its own employees, the share-based payment transaction is treated as cash-settled share- based payment. If the service recipient and the settlement enterprise are not the same entity, the share-based payment transaction shall be recognized and measured in the separate financial statements of both the service recipient and the settlement enterprise, respectively, in accordance with the above principles. 32. Revenue Revenue recognition and measurement accounting policies disclosed by business type Revenue represents the total inflow of economic benefits arising from the Group's ordinary activities, leading to an increase in shareholders' equity and not related to shareholders' invested capital. Revenue from contracts between the Group and clients is recognized when the client obtains control over the relevant goods (including labor, the same below), subject to the following conditions being met simultaneously: parties to the contract have approved and committed to fulfilling their respective obligations; the contract defines the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the transferred goods or labor provision; the contract includes clear payment terms for the transferred goods; the contract holds commercial substance, meaning it will alter the Group's future cash flows' risk, 140 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 timing, or amount upon fulfillment; and it is probable that the consideration from transferring goods to clients will be recoverable. In this context, acquiring control over the relevant goods means being able to dominate the use of the goods and derive almost full economic benefits from it. At the contract commencement date, the Group identifies each individual performance obligation existing under the contract, and apportions the trading price to each individual performance obligation based on the proportion of the selling prices of the goods committed by the individual performance obligations. The trading price is determined by taking into account of the influence of variable consideration, major financing components in the contract, non-cash consideration, consideration payable to clients and other factors. If each individual performance obligation under the contract meets any of the following conditions, the Group will, according to the progress of performance in the relevant performance period, recognize the part of trading price apportioned to the individual performance obligation as a revenue: the client obtains and consumes economic benefits from the performance by the Group at the time of performance; the client has control over the goods in production during the performance by the Group; the goods produced during the performance by the Group have irreplaceable use, and the Group is entitled to be paid for the completed part of the obligation up to now in the entire contract period. The performance schedule is determined by output method or input method according to the nature of the goods transferred. If the performance schedule cannot be reasonably determined and the incurred costs of the Group are expected to be compensated, the revenue is recognized according to the amount of the incurred costs until the performance schedule can be reasonably determined. If none of the above conditions is met, the Group recognizes revenue at the point in time when the client obtains control over the relevant goods, based on the transaction price apportioned to that single performance obligation. To determine whether the client obtains the control over the goods, the Group considers the following indications: the Group enjoys the current right to be paid for the goods, and the client has the current obligation to pay for the goods; the Group has transferred legal ownership of the goods to the client, and the client has owned the legal ownership over the goods; the Group has delivered the goods physically to the client, and the client has possessed the goods in kind; the Group has passed on to the client major risks and rewards of the ownership of the goods, and the client has received the major risks and rewards of the ownership of the goods; the client has accepted the goods; and any other indication that the client has obtained the control over the goods. Specific methods for revenue recognition from product sales: The Group's sales business is categorized into domestic sales and overseas sales. Both domestic sales and overseas sales have general mode and VMI mode, with specific revenue recognition policies for sales as follows: ① Domestic sales A. General sales mode The Group arranges production according to a sales contract or order with a client; upon shipment from the warehouse, the products are transported and delivered to the place of delivery designated by the client; the client's warehousing employee checks the quantity of the products and also carries out a spot check for the quality of the products; after the quantity and quality are accepted, the employee will sign and stamp on the receipt for confirmation. The revenue is recognized when the Group obtains the signed and stamped receipt or when the Group obtains the signed and stamped receipt and makes a reconciliation with the client. B. VMI sales mode The Group arranges production according to a sales contract or order with the client; upon shipment from the warehouse, the products will be transported and delivered to the delivery place designated by the client; the warehouse personnel checks the quantity of the products and also carries out a spot check for the quality of the products; after the quantity and quality are accepted, the warehouse personnel will sign and stamp on the receipt for confirmation. Sales revenue will be recognized based on the actual receipt of goods by the client and reconciliation with the client. ② Overseas sales A. General sales mode The Group arranges production according to a sales contract or order with a client; the export delivery is made through customs clearance after the products are verified as qualified through inspection; for the purpose of delivering the products, the revenue is recognized at the time of control transfer depending on specific terms of trade. B. VMI sales mode The Group arranges production according to a sales contract or order with a client; the export is made through customs clearance after the products are verified as qualified through inspection; after the Group completes export declaration formalities and obtains an export declaration form, and the products are transported to the place designated by the client, the revenue is recognized when the client accepts the products. The same type of business, if with different operating models, entails different revenue recognition and measurement methods. 141 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 None 33. Contract costs Contract costs include incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts and contract performance costs. If the incremental cost incurred by the Group to acquire the contract is expected to be recovered, it is recognized as an asset as the contract acquisition cost. A cost incurred for performing a contract which does not fall within the regulated scope of accounting standards for business enterprises other than Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue (revised in 2017) shall be recognized as an asset if: ① such cost directly relates to a current or expected contract, including direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing costs (or similar costs), costs clearly borne by clients and other costs only incurred due to the contract; ② such cost increases the resources of the Group for fulfilling its obligations in the future; and ③ such cost is expected to be recoverable. Assets related to contract costs are amortized to profit or loss using the same basis as revenue recognition for the goods to which the asset relates; however, if the asset is amortized over a period of less than one year, it is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. When the carrying amount of an asset related to contract costs is greater than the difference between the following two items, the Company makes a provision for impairment and recognizes it as an asset impairment loss for the excess: ①The residual consideration that the Group expects to obtain for the transfer of goods or services related to the asset; ②The estimated costs to be incurred for the transfer of such related goods or services. If there is a subsequent reversal of the provision for asset impairment, the carrying amount of the asset after the reversal should not exceed its value on the reversal date if no impairment provision had been made. 34. Government grants Government grants refer to the monetary assets and non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from the government free of charge, excluding the investment made by the government as an investor which enjoys the corresponding owner's equity. Government grants are divided into asset-related government grants and income-related government grants. Asset-related government grants refer to the government grants obtained by the Group and used for acquiring or forming long-term assets by other means. Other government grants are defined as government grants related to income. If no target of grants is specified in government documents, government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income as follows: (1) if the government document stipulates grants for a defined project, the grants will be divided according to the proportion of expenditures transformed into assets and expenditures recorded in expenses in the budget of the defined project, and the proportion will be reviewed at each balance sheet date and be changed if necessary; and (2) if the government document contains general statement on the purpose of grants, other than a defined project, the grants will be treated as government grants related to income. Government grants in the form of monetary assets shall be measured at the amount received or receivable. Government grants in the form of non-monetary assets shall be measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably acquired, the government grants shall be measured at nominal amount. Government grants measured at nominal amount shall be directly recorded in the current gains and losses. The Group recognizes and measures government grants generally at the time of receipt according to the actually received amounts. However, at the end of the period, the subsidy shall be measured according to the amount receivable when there is conclusive evidence that it can meet the relevant conditions stipulated by the financial support policy and is expected to receive financial support funds. A government grants measured at the amount receivable shall meet the following conditions: (1) the amount of grant receivable has been confirmed in a governmental document or can be reasonably estimated according to any officially issued measures for the management of financial support funds, without significant uncertainty in the estimated amount; (2) the measurement is based on the financial support projects and its measures for the management of financial support funds officially released and proactively disclosed by local fiscal authority according to the Government Information Disclosure Regulations, and the measures are inclusive (applicable to any eligible enterprise), other than for specific enterprises; (3) the relevant grant approval document has clearly stated the period of payment, and as the payment of the grant is guaranteed by corresponding fiscal budgets, there is reasonable assurance that the payment will be made within certain time of period; and (4) other relevant conditions should be met according to the actual situation of the Group and the grant (if any). Asset-related government grants are recognized as deferred income, and shall be recorded in current gains and losses in stages according to a reasonable and systematic method within the useful life of the relevant assets. If income-related government grants are received as compensation for related costs or losses in future periods, they are recognized as deferred income, and are recorded in current gains 142 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 and losses during the period when the related costs or losses are recognized; those received as compensation for related costs or losses incurred are directly included in the profit or loss of the current period. If a government grants contains an asset-related component and an income-related component, the two components are subject to separate accounting treatment. If it is difficult to distinguish them, the subsidy shall be classified as income-related government grants. Government grants related to the daily operating activities of the Group shall be recorded in other income according to the nature of operating business. Government grants unrelated to the daily activities are recorded in non-operating income. Where any recognized government grants need to be returned, in the case of related deferred income balance, the carrying amount of the deferred income balance shall be written down, and any excess shall be recognized in the profit or loss of the current period. In other circumstances, the returned subsidy is directly recorded in the profit or loss of the current period. 35. Deferred tax assets/liabilities (1) Current income taxes At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or returned) according to the requirements of tax laws. The taxable income used to calculate the current income tax expense is derived from adjustments made to the pre-tax accounting profit for the current reporting period in accordance with relevant tax regulations. (2) Deferred tax assets and liabilities For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax bases, or between the carrying amounts of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and of which the tax bases can be determined according to tax laws and tax bases, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the balance sheet liability method. For temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, no corresponding deferred tax liabilities are recognized. For temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in transactions other than business combinations that do not affect either the accounting profit or taxable income (or deductible losses), and where the initial recognition of assets and liabilities does not result in equivalent taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences, no corresponding deferred income tax assets or liabilities are recognized. In addition, for the taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, if the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future, no deferred tax liability is recognized. Except for the above exceptions, the Group recognizes deferred tax liabilities arising from all other taxable temporary differences. For the deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the corresponding deferred tax assets shall not be recognized if it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future, or if it is not probable that taxable profits will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. For the above exceptions, deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized by the Group to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward to later years, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that the future taxable income that can be used to offset the deductible losses and tax credits is likely to be obtained. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates, according to tax laws, that are expected to be applicable when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. On the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets shall be reviewed. If it is unlikely to obtain sufficient taxable income in the future to offset against the profits arising from deferred tax assets, the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets shall be written down. When it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available, such written-down amount shall be subsequently reversed. (3) Income tax expenses Income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax. Except that current income taxes and deferred taxes arising from transactions or events recognized in other comprehensive income or directly recorded in shareholders' equity are recorded in other comprehensive income or shareholders' equity, and that deferred taxes arising from business combinations adjust the carrying amount of goodwill, all other current income taxes and deferred tax expenses or gains are recorded in the profit or loss of the current period. (4) Income tax offset When there is a legal right to settle on a net basis and the intention is to settle on a net basis or to realize assets and to settle liabilities simultaneously, the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities of the Group are offset and presented as net amount. 143 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 When there is a legal right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis, and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to the income tax levied by the same tax administration department on the same tax payer or to different tax payers, but in each future period of reversing material deferred tax assets and liabilities, the tax payers involved intend to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or realize assets and settle liabilities at the same time, the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of the Group are offset and presented as net amount. 36. Lease (1) Accounting treatment of leases as lessee A lease is a contract under which the Group transfers or acquires the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a specific period of time in exchange for consideration or payment. At the inception date of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease. The Group acts as lessee: The Group's categories of leased assets are mainly buildings. ①Initial measurement On the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes the right to use the leased asset over the lease term as a right-of-use asset, and recognizes the present value of the outstanding lease payments as a lease liability, excluding short-term leases and leases of low- value assets. When measuring the present value of a lease payment, the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate, and adopts the incremental borrowing rate as the lessee's discount rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not determinable. ②Subsequent measurement The Group depreciates right-of-use assets according to the depreciation provisions outlined in Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets. See Note V.21 for details. If ownership of the leased asset can be reasonably assured at the end of the lease term, the Group depreciates it over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the Group can reasonably determine that it will obtain the ownership of leased assets when the lease term expires, the Group depreciates the right-of-use assets over the remaining useful life of the leased assets. For lease liabilities, the Group calculates its interest expense at a fixed periodic rate for each period during the lease term, which is charged to current profit or loss or included in the cost of the related assets. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities, when actually incurred, shall be recorded in the current gains and losses or related asset costs. Following the commencement date of the lease term, when there are changes in the substantive fixed payments, the projected amount payable for the residual value of the guarantee, the indexes or ratios used to determine the lease payments, or the valuation results or actual exercise of purchase options, lease renewal options or termination options, the Group re-measures the lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments after such changes and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, but the lease liability needs to be further reduced, the Group recognizes the remaining amount in profit or loss for the current period. ③ Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets For short-term leases (with a lease term of less than 12 months from the commencement date) and leases of low-value assets, the Group adopts a simplified approach by not recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; instead, the Group recognizes the lease payments as part of the cost of the related assets or in profit or loss for the current period, on a straight-line basis or other systematic and reasonable basis, in each period during the lease term. (2) Accounting treatment of leases as lessor The Group acts as lessor: The Group classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases based on their transaction substance at the inception date of the lease. A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Operating leases are leases other than finance leases. ①Operating lease The Group uses the straight-line method to recognize lease collections under operating leases as rental income in each period during the lease term. Variable lease payments relating to operating leases that are not recognized as lease collections are recognized in profit or loss when they are actually incurred. ②Finance lease 144 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 On the commencement date of the lease term, the Group recognizes finance lease receivables and derecognizes finance lease assets. Finance lease receivables are initially measured at the net investment in the lease (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of lease receivables not yet received at the commencement date of the lease term discounted at the interest rate embedded in the lease), and interest income is recognized over the lease term calculated at a constant periodic rate. Variable lease payments obtained by the Group that are not included in the measurement of the net investment in leases are recognized in profit or loss when they are actually incurred. 37. Specific reserve According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Group accrues specific reserve for production safety. The specific reserve is mainly used for safety expenditure in the process of production and operation. The provision for specific reserve is recognized as relevant cost or profit or loss for the current period, and it is also included in specific reserve. The specific reserve is written down when withdrawal of safety fund is of expense expenditure. If it is capital expenditure, the expenditure incurred is recorded in construction in progress and recognized as fixed assets when the project is completed and is ready for the intended use, and meanwhile, specific reserve is written down at the cost of the fixed assets and accumulated depreciation is recognized at the same amount. Consequently, such fixed assets are not depreciated in subsequent periods. 38. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates While using accounting policies, due to the uncertainty in operating activities, the Group needs to make judgment, estimates and assumptions on the book value of accounts which cannot be measured accurately. The judgment, estimates and assumptions are made based on the historical experience of the Group's management and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The judgments, estimates and assumptions would affect the reported amounts of incomes, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. However, the actual results from the uncertainty in the estimates may differ from the current estimates made by the Group's management, subject to further significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of the affected assets or liabilities. The above judgments, estimates and assumptions will be reviewed periodically by the Group on the going-concern basis. If a change in accounting estimates only affects the period in which the change occurs, the affected amount will be recognized in the period in which the change occurs. If the change affects both the period in which the change occurs and future periods, the affected amount will be recognized in the period in which the change occurs. At the balance sheet date, the major fields in which the Group is required to make the judgments, estimates and assumptions on the amounts in the financial statements are shown below: (1) Revenue recognition As stated in this Note V. 32. '' Revenue '', the Group's revenue recognition involves the following significant accounting judgments and estimates: identification of client contracts; estimation of the recoverability of the considerations enjoyed due to the transfer of goods to clients; identification of performance obligations in contracts; estimation of the variable consideration in a contract and the amount of accumulated recognized revenue that is unlikely to be significantly reversed when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated; whether there is material financing component in a contract; estimation of separate selling prices of individual performance obligations in a contract; determination on whether the performance obligation shall be performed in a time span or at a point of time; and determination of performance progress. The Group makes judgments based on historical experience and practices, and major changes in judgments and estimates would have impact (and even significant impact) on the change of operating revenue, operating cost, and profit and loss during the current or future periods. (2) Lease ① Identification of a lease While identifying that a contract is or contains a lease, the Group needs to assess whether there is an identified asset and the client has the right to use the asset for a certain period. During assessment, the Group shall consider the nature or substantial replacement of the asset, and whether the client has the right to obtain almost all economic benefits arising from the use of the asset during the period and can control the use of the asset. ② Classification of a lease 145 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 The Group as the lessor classifies leases into operating leases and financing leases. In the classification process, the management needs to make appropriate analysis and judgment on whether all risks and rewards related to the ownership of leased assets have been substantially transferred to the lessee. ③ Lease liabilities The Group, as a lessee, initially measures the lease liabilities at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at the lease commencement date. For measuring the present value of the lease payment, the Group estimates the discounting rate in use and the lease term of the lease contract with an option of renewal or termination. For assessing the lease term, the Group considers all the facts and circumstances related to the economic benefits brought by the exercise of the option by the Group, including expected changes in the facts and circumstances from the lease commencement date to the option exercise date. Different judgments and estimates would affect the recognition of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets and further affect the profit or loss of subsequent periods. (3) Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses impairments of financial instruments using the expected credit loss model, where the Group is required to make significant judgments and estimates, as well as consider all reasonable and evidence-based information, including forward-looking information. In making the judgments and estimates, the Group predicts expected changes in debtor's credit risk based on historical data, as well as economic policies, macroeconomic indicators, industry risks, external market conditions, technical conditions, changes in client conditions and other factors. (4) Provisions for the decline in value of inventories Under accounting policies for inventories, the Group measures inventories according to the lower of cost and net realizable value. For the inventories with cost higher than net realizable value as well as obsolete and unsalable inventories, the Group calculates provisions for the impairment of inventories. The inventories are impaired to their net reliable value, depending on the assessment of salability of inventories and their net realizable value. To identify inventory impairment, the management is required to make judgments and estimates after obtaining conclusive evidence, as well as considering the purpose of inventories held, the impact of events occurring after the balance sheet date and other factors. Any difference between actual results and prior estimates will, in the period when relevant estimates are changed, affect the carrying amount of inventories and the provision for inventory impairment or reversal thereof. (5) Fair value of financial instruments If there is no financial instrument in an active trading market, its fair value is determined by the Group through various valuation methods. The valuation techniques include disclosed cash flow modeling, etc. In the valuation process, the Group needs to estimate future cash flow, credit risk, market volatility and correlation, etc. and choose an appropriate discounting rate. These relevant assumptions are uncertain, and their changes would affect the fair value of financial instruments. For equity instrument investments or contracts with public quotes, the Group will not regard costs as the best fair value estimate. (6) Impairment provision for long-term assets For non-current assets other than financial assets, the Group will, at the balance sheet date, judges whether there is an indication of impairment. For intangible assets with an uncertain useful life, the impairment test will be carried out annually and when there is an indication of impairment. The impairment test will be carried out for non-current assets other than financial assets, when there is an indication that the carrying amount cannot be recovered. When the book value of an asset or group of assets is higher than the recoverable amount, the higher of the net of the fair value less disposal costs and the present value of estimated future cash flows represents the impairment. The net of the fair value less disposal costs is determined by the sales agreement price or observable market price of similar assets in fair trade reduced by incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of the asset. Important judgments shall be made on the output, selling price, related operating costs and discount rate used in calculating present value of the asset (or a group of assets) in estimation of present value of future cash flows. When estimating the recoverable amount, the Group uses all relevant information available, including the output, selling price and related operating costs predicted on the basis of reasonable and evidence-based assumptions. The Group tests whether goodwill is impaired at least annually. This requires estimating the present value of future cash flows of an asset group or combination of asset groups to which goodwill has been allocated. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, the Group needs to predict cash flows generating from an asset group or combination of asset groups in the future, and chooses an appropriate discount rate to determine the present value of future cash flows. (7) Depreciation and amortization The Group depreciates and amortizes investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets over their respective useful life, using the straight-line method, with their respective residual value taken into account. The Group periodically reviews the useful life of assets to determine the amounts of depreciation and amortization expenses for each reporting period. The useful life is determined by the 146 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 Group based on its historic experience acquired on similar assets and expected technical development. For significant changes in prior estimates, depreciation and amortization expenses will be adjusted in the coming periods. (8) Development costs When determining capitalized amounts, the Group's management needs to assume estimated future cash flows, appropriate discount rates and expected return periods of relevant assets. The Group's management believes that the products with its self-developed proprietary technology have a broad market and good prospects, and the market reaction to the products produced with these intangible assets also supports the management's pre-estimated income arising from the project. However, the increasing competition makes the management reconsider the assumptions about market share and estimated gross profits of the products. After a thorough review, the Group's management believes that the book value of intellectual properties can be fully recovered notwithstanding a lowered rate of return of the products. The Group will continue to keep close attention on relevant developments. Once there is an indication that it is necessary to adjust the assumptions of relevant accounting estimates, the Group will make adjustment in the period when that indication appears. (9) Deferred tax assets To the extent that it is likely that there will be sufficient taxable profits to cover the losses, the Group recognizes deferred tax assets for all unused tax losses. In this case, the Group's management shall make important judgments to estimate the time and amount of future taxable profits and, by taking into account of its tax plan, to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that should be recognized. (10) Income tax In normal operating activities of the Group, there are some transactions with certain uncertainties in final tax treatment and calculation. Tax deductible expenses for some items are subject to review and approval by tax authority. Any difference between final results and initially estimated amounts due to these tax matters exerts impact on income taxes and deferred taxes of the period when the final results are determined. 39. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (1) Important changes in accounting policy Applicable Not applicable Unit: RMB Contents and causes of changes in accounting policy Statement items significantly affected Impact amount On November 30, 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Finance and Accounting [2022] No. 31) ("the Deferred income tax assets, deferred Interpretation"). The Interpretation stipulates that "deferred See the Note V. 39. (3) for income tax liabilities, undistributed income taxes related to assets and liabilities arising from more details. profits, and minority interests individual transactions are not applicable to initial recognition exemption", and this would become effective on January 1, 2023. (2) Changes in significant accounting estimates Applicable Not applicable (3) Status of financial statement adjustments as of the beginning of the year of first-time implementation of the new accounting standards starting from 2023 Applicable Not applicable Adjustment description On November 30, 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Finance and Accounting [2022] No. 31) ("the Interpretation"). The Interpretation stipulates that "deferred income taxes related to assets and liabilities arising from individual transactions are not applicable to initial recognition exemption", and this would become effective on January 1, 2023.

Risks Related to Financial Instruments 1. Various risks arising from financial instruments The major financial instruments of the Group include equity investments, accounts receivable, borrowings and accounts payable, etc. For details on the financial instruments, please see this Note VII. Relevant Items. Risks related to the financial instruments and the Group's risk management policy used for reducing these risks is stated as follows. The Group's management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure that these risks are controlled within a limited scope. The Group analyzes the reasonableness of risk variables and the impact of potential changes on current loss or profit or shareholder's equity using sensitivity analysis techniques. As risk variables rarely change in isolation, and the correlation between any two of the risk variables will have a great effect on the final impact amount of a certain risk variable, the following disclosures are made assuming that each variable changes in isolation. (I) Risk management goals and policies The Group's risk management aims to reach appropriate balancing between risks and benefits, to minimize the negative impact of risks on the Group's operating results, and to maximize the interests of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on these risk management goals, the Group's basic strategy for risk management is to determine and analyze various risks faced by the Group, 214 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 establish an appropriate risk tolerance bottom line and conduct risk management, and supervise various risks in a timely and reliable manner to control the risks within a limited scope. 1. Market risk (1) Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of loss due to exchange rate change. The Group's exposure to foreign exchange mainly involves US dollars. Except that the Company and its subsidiaries purchase and sell in USD, EUR, JPY, VND, DKK, HKD, TWD and KRW, other main business of the Group is measured and settled in RMB. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's monetary items in foreign currencies are detailed in Note VII.67. Except for the assets or liabilities, certain financial assets for trading, certain financial liabilities for trading, certain investments in other equity instruments, certain other non-current financial assets and certain other non-current assets described in that table, which are in foreign currencies, the Group's assets and liabilities are mainly in RMB. The foreign exchange risks arising from the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies may have an impact on the operating results of the Group. The Group closely monitors the impact of exchange rate changes on the Group's foreign exchange risks. The Company has large volume of export sales, and needs to import some raw materials. Some equipment for research, development, production and testing of the Company also needs to be purchased from abroad. The Company's export sales and imported raw materials are mainly settled in USD. The depreciation of USD and the appreciation of RMB will reduce the procurement cost of imported raw materials, but adversely affect the competitiveness of the Company's products in overseas markets. Considering the import of raw materials and export of products, the appreciation of RMB against USD will affect the Company's profitability to some extent. Sensitivity analysis over foreign exchange risks: When other variables remain unchanged, the possible reasonable changes in USD currency rate may have the following effects on current gains and losses, as well as shareholders' equity: 2023 2022 Change in exchange Impact on Impact on Item Impact on net profit Impact on net profit rate shareholders' equity shareholders' equity (RMB) (RMB) (RMB) (RMB) 3% appreciation USD -51,954,213.77 -53,372,215.77 -17,700,129.48 -20,864,011.13 against RMB 3% depreciation USD 51,954,213.77 53,372,215.77 17,700,129.48 20,864,011.13 against RMB (2) Interest rate risk - cash flow change risk The Group's risk of cash flow changes of financial instruments arising from interest rate changes mainly involves floating rate bank borrowings. At present, the interest rate of the Group's bank borrowings is mainly floating rate. Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis: The sensitivity analysis over interest rate risks is conducted based on the following assumptions: Changes in market interest rates affect the interest income or expense of financial instruments with variable interest rates; For fixed-rate financial instruments measured at fair value, changes in market interest rates only affect their interest income or expense; For derivative financial instruments designated as hedge instruments, changes in market interest rates affect their fair value, and all interest rate hedging is expected to be highly effective; Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities are calculated using the discounted cash flow method at the market interest rate on the balance sheet date. On the basis of the above assumptions, when other variables remain unchanged, the possible reasonable changes in interest rates may have the following effects on current gains and losses, as well as shareholders' equity: 215 Full Text of Goertek Inc. Annual Report 2023 2023 2022 Interest rate Impact on Impact on Item Impact on net profit Impact on net profit change shareholders' equity shareholders' equity (RMB) (RMB) (RMB) (RMB) Bank Float up by -44,382,185.25 -44,186,512.56 -24,185,541.46 -24,185,541.46 borrowings 10% Bank Float down by 44,382,185.25 44,186,512.56 24,185,541.46 24,185,541.46 borrowings 10% (3) Other price risks None 2. Credit risk As of December 31, 2023, the maximum credit risk exposure that may cause the Group's financial loss resulted from the loss in the Group's financial assets caused by the counterparty's failure to perform its contractual obligations. In order to reduce credit risk, the Group sets up a team to determine the credit limit, conduct credit approval, and implement other monitoring procedures to ensure that necessary measures are taken to recover overdue claims. Additionally, the Company cooperates with commercial insurance institutions to insure for high-risk clients, so as to reduce the risk of bad debts from credit sale. In addition, the Group reviews the recovery of each individual receivable on each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate bad debt provision is made for unrecoverable amounts. Therefore, the Group's management believes that the credit risk undertaken by the Group has been greatly reduced. The Group has put in place necessary policies to ensure that all its clients have good credit records. The Group's non-cash cash at bank and on hand are mainly deposited with financial institutions with good credit. The management believes that there is no significant credit risk, and it is expected that the default of counterparty will not cause significant losses to the Group.
